My role
Game Design
The game is designed around the concept of matching tiles to eliminate them. I wanted to create a hypnotic feeling by changing the music and the visual effects depending on how well the player was performing.
Music & Sound FX
I composed four different background music loops, «Normal», «Doing good», «Very Well» and «On Fire». They were designed to allow for fluidly mixing them.
C++ Programmer
The game was developed using Telynet Game Engine, an engine made on top of Ogre, OAL and other libraries. The most remarkable programming tasks were relative to the music and sound fx, creating smooth transitions according to the score income and combos obtained. The most difficult task was to implement an IMA4 compressed audio loader, necessary to reduce the application size keeping audio playback performance.
